Frequently asked questions
Can I verify that someone is affiliated with ESnet?
Yes. ESnet participates in InCommon, which shares academic identity providers through eduGAIN. Users prove their affiliation by signing in with their ESnet account via SAML single sign-on — no document uploads, no passwords, no identity data stored on Studid.
Does ESnet support persistent identifiers?
Not necessarily. ESnet does not advertise a NameID format, so identifiers are likely to be transient (per-login). authIdentifier may be null — you can still confirm which institution the user logged in from via entityId.
